One week had passed since Princess' Twilight's return. Apparently the seven had been going at it for a solid thirteen days straight, much to everyone's shock.

Princess Twilight, of course, was fascinated. As was her Earthen counterpart. After cleaning up the wrecked living room, throwing out what couldn't be salvaged, repairing and cleansing what could, examinations were performed. Tests were run. Diagnostics taken.

In the process, there were of course more lewd adventures. On a handful of occasions, Princess Twilight herself got involved. The conclusions drawn thus far proved to be extraordinary, and she was eager to bring her findings to Princess Celestia.

Initially, Sunset warned her off the idea. For one, it was horrifically embarrassing. For two, no better textbook definition of 'Too Much Information' could one find.

To refute her point, Twilight described in lurid detail how all the Princesses in Equestria - herself included - owned their respective harems. The Royal Sisters preferred to keep theirs more on the down low for the sake of appearances, but Twilight and Cadance were quite open with theirs.

Twilight's was, unsurprisingly, comprised of her five friends. That extended also to her world's Trixie and Starlight Glimmer.

Sunset couldn't hide her disappointment, learning that fact. She would have loved to claim Starlight for herself, thinking on the first occasion they'd met. Fortunately, Twilight proposed they share the reformed unicorn. Apparently she was an absolute slut for marecock, and Twilight doubted she'd turn down the chance to get stuffed by two.

Sunset agreed to the offer. Because obviously.

After dotting all the is and crossing their ts, Twilight left for home. She said to keep in touch, and that she'd love to run further experiments - and 'experiments' - in the future.

By then, Sunset and the girls had only two days before Earth Twilight's parents returned. Without a cold chance in Tartarus of squeezing into their old clothes, Rarity set her masterful hands to the task of stitching new outfits. They could at least spare Velvet and Night Light the full brunt of their immodesty.

Whatever loose or spare fabric Rarity could get her hands on - and that Twilight confirmed was up for grabs - she used. Bedsheets, pillowcases, curtains. She wove them all to their fullest potential.

Which... granted, wasn't saying much. She did her best, and they were lovely - honest - but they amounted effectively to quilted chest straps and skirts.

But they fulfilled their purpose. The most important assets were concealed, and they kept the ample abundance of curvaceous quaking to a relative minimum.

Relative being the key word.

One thing she did not appreciate - besides having her entire wardrobe effectively tossed in the trash - was how tricky needlework had become. Things once well-suited to normal human hands were now frustratingly small, ill fit for the likes of a high class amazon.

She did get better with time however, and Sunset and Twilight helped her on by showing her the ropes of telekinesis. Once Rarity adjusted, she quickly fell into the flow of using unicorn magic. She admitted, though, that she still preferred working with her hands. Hard to blame her there, honestly.

Afterwards, she vowed to spin up new wardrobes for each of them. Sunset was of course thankful, though saddened by the prospect she might no longer be able to wear her old leather jacket. She and that thing had been through a lot.

Like hell was she giving it away though, even if she couldn't use it anymore. The same went for her guitar and motorcycle.

But cest la vie. Perhaps she could read up on growth spells later.

At the present moment, they all sat at the - notably small - dining room table. Twilight's parents had arrived that morning, and their initial response seemed for all intents and purposes better than anyone had expected.

That wasn't to say they were exactly 'happy'. Sure, they were glad their little - not so little anymore - Twilight had found love, but, well...

That love was for six other women. All of whom were absolutely stacked, built like a brick house, and possessed some decidedly inhuman qualities. All of which, similarly, required an in-depth explanation on what exactly Twilight and her friends had been getting up to in the last few years.

The magic stuff, specifically. Not the sex stuff.

Either way, Sunset was sure the only reason they didn't ground Twilight's fat, glorious booty right then and there was because they were probably - and quite reasonably - a hair intimidated by their new baby girl. Not that Twilight would have done anything untoward.

The fact they already had grandkids on the way also might have had something to do with it. Twilight Velvet definitely seemed like the 'give me children' kind of mom.

Honestly? Sunset was just glad she didn't decide to castrate her for knocking up her daughter.

Sunset looked at the miniature fork between her fingers, spinning it around and around. Craning her neck slightly downwards, she had to be extra careful with where her horn was pointed.

One time, she'd gotten up from the seat too quickly. After that?

Ha. Ha. Ha ha ha.

Not again.

"Y'know Twi, your parents are pretty cool." Rainbow, lounging tipped herself back in the comparatively tiny chair. Sunset didn't question how it supported them so easily despite their weight.

Magic bullshit, probably.

The inner machinations of magic bullshit was an enigma. Truly.

"Why do you say that?" Twilight asked.

"Just... they're super chill. I think everyone was pretty worried they were gonna blow a gasket."

"Couldn't blame 'em if'n they did."

Twilight shrugged, adjusted her glasses. Those, somehow, had changed size with her. "I'm as confused as you guys are. Not like I'm going to look a gift horse in the mouth though. Or an anything horse, for that matter."

She flicked her tail. Quiet laughter ran through the crowd.

"Just count your lucky stars that she did take it well, darling. We have many others we'll need to break this... little development to."

From the living room, Twilight Velvet entered. She sat down, needles in hand, and began to sew, casual as you please.

"Truth be told, I didn't take it very well."

"Mom?"

"Apologies for bursting in on the moment, sweetie. Feel free to continue when I'm done, like I'm not even here. But in all seriousness, I was... taken aback, to say the very least. When I opened the door and saw you- in that-"

She gestured at Twilight's skimpy ensemble. "Not to mention everything else, I thought I might faint. And gods, you're all so young as well. But," she sighed. "Ah. I'm still your mother, and I love you. It's not as if you haven't told me about some of this magical nonsense before either. I trusted you then, and I trust you now. I understand none of this was a fully conscious decision any of you made. Life happens, and that's just that.

Velvet smiled. Beneath her soft, kind eyes, the wrinkles of age showed on her pale skin. Reaching forward, she took Twilight's much larger hand into her own and squeezed.

"You're my daughter - my only daughter - and my job as your mother is to support you. When I was younger, barely older than you are now in fact, Nighty and I hadn't intended on me becoming pregnant. But it happened, and we decided to roll with the punches. In the end? I'm glad it happened, even if I never intended it to. Raising you and your brother has been stressful, certainly, but it's also been the most rewarding thing I and your father have done in our lives. I hope and wish you and all your... friends," she said the word as though not entirely sure it was the right one. "Derive as much joy from raising your children as I have you two."

Twilight, a bit teary-eyed, smiled. "I love you, mom."

A collective 'Awwww' rose from the crowd. Twilight's cheeks flushed.

"I love you too, starshine. I'll get out of your hair now."

Silently, she returned to sewing, and the conversation resumed.

"I'm not gonna lie," Sunset muttered. "I'm definitely pretty worried how all of your families are going to take this. It's great that Twilight's parents are so supportive - thank you by the way, Misses Velvet - but..."

AJ shrugged. "If it makes ya feel any better, Sunset, ah don't think any 'a mine's gonna mind. Extra strength on the farm's always welcome." To punctuate her meaning, she flexed her biceps. Sunset caught Velvet's gaze wandering there for the barest hint of a moment, before snappping back to her needlework.

Can't blame you, Misses Velvet. Can't blame you.

"Heh. It does a little bit. Thanks."

Fluttershy, sitting beside Sunset, placed a hand on her arm. "I know you're worried. It's completely reasonable, and I am too, but whatever happens we'll get through this together."

"Yeah!" Pinkie cheered. "My parents are probably gonna have a heart attack, but they'll get over it! I've given them plenty enough to kill them already and they've survived so far!"

"At the end of the day," added Rarity. "There's no point in worrying ourselves over maybes and maybe nots. It does us no good. We will handle things as they come, and I for one believe that everything will work out in the end."

Everyone nodded to that. Sunset did after a moment of delay, with some begrudging reluctance.

"Another thing though, something more immediate."

Sunset pointed a finger at the group's general direction, leveling it at their bellies and the dual-sided suns imprinted there. All her mares blushed.

"If we're going to have foal- Or, kids. If we're going to have kids, we're going to need housing, among a bunch of other stuff. I can probably convert some Equestrian bits to dollars on the DL, but that's pretty risky legally speaking - trust me I know - so we'll also need a legitimate source of income."

"Ah think ah got the solution t'at least one 'a those things. We're big. We're strong. We got magic. And Sweet Apple Acres is already owned bah mah family. Long as Granny agrees, it'll be right easy fer us to build our own house."

"Oooh, yes!" Twilight giggled, clapping. "I can finally put my mathematics and understanding of architectural integrity to good use! You guys have no idea how much I've wanted to design a building."

Sunset hmmed. "I guess."

"What do you mean guess, darling? I think it's a wonderful idea. We'll all pitch in. It's not as if we haven't done something similar before. Remember building the dock at Camp Everfree?"

"Okay, yes, but like, that was a dock," Dash said. "Building an entire ass- Um, sorry Twilight's mom."

"Not a problem, dearie. The images put in my head today are far worse than any cuss word you can imagine."

"Heh heh. Right... Point being, a dock isn't that big a deal. But a whole house? I mean, if that's something we gotta live in it's gotta be fu- I mean frrrreaking huge."

"Then we scale it up," Twilight soothed. "Need I remind you I can levitate things? The construction won't be a problem."

Sunset frowned, uneasy. "Just making sure it doesn't fall apart. We're not actual architects, Twilight. No matter how much you know on the subject, you need a license to do that sort of thing."

"Ah'm sure ah can get a contractor. Plenty 'a those in the Apple family. How else d'ya think we do the barn raisin'?"

Sunset and Rainbow shared a glance. Both knew they still held reservations, but neither could think of an immediate counterargument.

"There's still the matter of employment, however," Rarity said.

"Not to mention our alter egos!" Pinkie chirped.

Sunset raised a brow. "Pinkie, I don't think we really had alter egos at all."

Twilight concurred. "Honestly, I'm pretty sure the city just tolerates us at this point. It's not like the police can deal with magic on their own. As for how the government hasn't gotten involved yet... That I don't know. Hopefully it doesn't end up being an issue in the future given our... current forms. As for employment-"

Night Light's entrance interrupted her train of speech. Grinning, a dark-toned hand swept back his midnight blue hair, in his arms carrying a mile-high stack of pizza boxes.

"Dinner's here, everyone! Hope you're all hungry."

The collective rumble of stomachs sounded less like seven hungry teens, and more like a five oh earthquake.

Velvet giggled. "Now remember, all of you are eating for two now."

"Mooooom!"

"Uhm." Fluttershy looked away, hiding half her face behind her mane. "What if we're carrying... more... than one."

A chill ran down Sunset's spine.

"I-I'll, uhhhh. Need to ask Princess Twilight... about... that one."

"Here, I'm sure you can all serve yourselves, right?" Night Light set the boxes down on the table, spreading them out one by one. "Got soda in the kitchen by the way. Oh! And wings, and boneless wings, and brownies, and-"

"Honey. I think they get the idea."

"Yes, yes, of course. Just trying to take care of my future grandkids!"

Rainbow opened a box and instantly recoiled. "Ewww. Pineapple? Which one of you freaks likes pineapple on their pizza?"

"Me," said Twilight. "And I'll have you know pineapple on pizza is delicious. It's not like you have to eat it anyway."

Sunset had already grabbed a slice and began chewing. With her size and hunger, it was gone in an instant.

"I'd like to make it known to the jury that I also think pineapple on pizza is delicious."

"Oh my god. I can't believe I let you knock me up."

"Rainbow!" Twilight exclaimed. Then, through clenched teeth, "We are eating with my parents."

"What? Obviously we're preggers. Do you want me to lie about how Sunset totally used her-"

Twilight clapped a hand over Rainbow's mouth.

Rainbow kept talking.

The moment brought a smile to Sunset's lips. A memory dredged itself from the depths of her mind, one that Princess Twilight had informed her of in private earlier in the week. Looking around at her mares, she couldn't deny her feelings. She couldn't deny she wanted to spend the rest of her life with them - all of them.

Well, Sunset. No better time than the present.

"Hold on, guys. I have... something important to ask you."

Six sets of eyes shifted on her. In them, Sunset saw people she cared for - people she could love.

Pinkie's bright baby blues, always bubbly and positive, striving to keep everyone happy.

Fluttershy's gentle teals, her kindness and the compassion she showed for every creature big and small.

Rainbow's pools of magenta, daring and bold, loyal to the bitter end. Maybe a bit obnoxious and dense, but meaning the best.

Rarity's sapphire jewels, generous to a fault, capable of seeing the best and beauty in everyone she met.

Applejack's emeralds, her honesty and hard working ethic, the faith and trust she showed, never backing down from an opportunity to lend a hand.

And finally Twilight, her sparkling amethysts, sharp as a tack, shy but also sassy, curious and eager to learn and make friends and show how much she cared.

"Princess Twilight told me about this... ritual that's done, when a... ahem, a stud wants to officially make a mare part of their herd. So, without getting into too much detail."

Fluttershy was the closest. Sunset dropped to one knee, looked into her eyes and held one of her hands in both of her own.

"Fluttershy, will you be my herdwife?"

Without a second of hesitation, Fluttershy answered.

"Yes."

Sunset grinned, kissing her knuckles.

One by one, she asked each of her friends. Each one said yes without pausing to think for a moment. For Twilight, the last remaining unclaimed, said yes before Sunset could ask. She kissed Sunset herself.

Velvet and Night broke into applause.

"I presume," asked Velvet. "This is similar to marriage, judging by the title of wife?"

"Pretty much yeah, just without papers and documents or a proper wedding."

"Hmm, thought Night Light. "I think that's a real shame, personally. You lovely ladies would make for quite the brides I think."

"Oh, Sunnyyyy, Sunny Sunny Sunny Sunny Sunny!"

Sunset, brows furrowed, looked at Rarity. "Yeah, Rares?"

"Can we? Can we please have a wedding? Oh my heavens, I would oh so love to make the dresses for us, each one made special! I have always wanted to do something like this."

Sunset cracked a grin, leaned over, and kissed her cheek.

"Sure, babe," she said.

"Let's get married."

Author's Note

When I wrote this in...

Checks paper.

...late May, jesus christ - this was initially intended to be the epilogue. Partway through uploading the finalized chapters, however, the commissioner approached me with the proposition of adding more to this story.

I said yes, of course, so don't hop off the train quite yet. There's more steamy horse smut cummin' your way, and I've got a few interesting ideas in store beyond.

I am however taking a slight departure away from the initial comedic tone I've established, but not fully. The whole basis for this little saga is inherently pretty funny - and so is sex in general, let's be honest - but there will be a bit more balance of serious to silly in the following installments. I never intended on any of this spinning out into an actual potential narrative, but here we are. Thank my lack of self control for that.

And lastly, to those who've been clamoring for some Sunset receiving action? Stick around. You might just get your wish~
